You can make this easier by defining a No Proofing character style that you
can easily apply to text you don't want spell-checked. See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MasterSpellCheck.htm for more (and
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm for instructions to create a
character style).

That's it! THanks!

I believe this may be what you're referring to:
Select the text to be omitted then go to the Review tab, click the Set
Language button in the Proofing group & check the box for "Do not check
spelling or grammar".

That I do know but in previous versions you could actually highlight a
paragraph and exclude it from spell check. I am wondering if that
feature
is
gone... I'm talking about hundreds of pages in a document, not just a
page.

Hi,
In all the versions of Word that I know, you can select a portion of a
document and press F7. Word will spellcheck only the selected text.
For more information on the spellchecker, see also

Hope this helps,

We currently use Word 2007. I have never used this feature but one

my
users said he used this all the time back in the day when typing
long
documents and books... Thanks for any help.
